"Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" Actress in Talks for "Sherlock Holmes 2" and More

Noomi Rapace, the star of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" and the two sequels, will soon be a big name in United States. Music Box Films, which released the movie in a Los Angeles County theater, says they have hired an Oscar publicist to promote Rapace for a Best Actress nomination. She has already won the Swedish equivalency of that for the film.

Deadline is reporting that Hollywood is now knocking on her door. Warner Bros wants her for "Sherlock Holmes 2," while Paramount Pictures want her for "Mission: Impossible 4." And that's just the beginning.

James McTeigue has been trying to cast her in "Raven," while Tommy Wirkola wants to attach her to "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters." And McG has been talking about casting her for a villain role in "This Means War."
